This paper investigates how the encouragement of entrepreneurship within university research labs relates with research activities, research outputs, and early doctorate careers. The Kirkwood gaps in the distribution of asteroid semimajor axes are explained byĬhaos theory causing large variations in orbital eccentricity for certain resonance orbitsĬarbonaceous chondrites are a type of meteorite that has organic compounds and volatiles.Encouraging entrepreneurship in university labs: Research activities, research outputs, and early doctorate careers Which of the following classes of objects is found in both the Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt? Pluto's mean density of 2 g/cm 3 is fairly typical of dwarf planets and is consistent with a composition of The difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is that by definition a planetĬlears out the space near its orbit while a dwarf planet doesn't The small gaps in Saturn's ring system are maintained byįrom their albedos, their reflection spectra, and certain orbital clues the asteroids can be linked to Salty water - water in which salt has dissolved to form ions The electrically conducting fluid that is believed to be responsible for the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune is Starting at the center and going outwards, Saturn consists mainly ofĪ rocky core, a liquid metallic hydrogen zone, a liquid molecular hydrogen zone, and a gaseous outer layer The jovian planets are flattened into an oblate shape by Jupiter and Saturn have more hydrogen and helium and less volatiles (hydrogen compounds) than Uranus and Neptune If we say that Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants while Uranus and Neptune are ice giants, it means that The terrestrial planet that has global dust storms because of its strong winds is Which of the following is not a necessary element of the dynamo mechanism that is responsible for a planet's magnetic field?Ī magnetic metal such as solid iron, as in a bar magnet Which of the following is a greenhouse gas? Which of the following planets has the strongest greenhouse effect at the present time? Which of the following planets would have the lowest equilibrium temperature if each is at an identical distance from a star exactly like the Sun? Suppose an icy planet with dark rock underneath suffered an impact that vaporized all the ice and the vapor escaped. Which kind of atmosphere will it have?Ī thick atmosphere, with both light and heavy gases Which of the following gases is most likely to be the main component of a planet's secondary atmosphere?Ĭonsider a planet that is cool and has a high escape velocity. On which planet(s) is/are there plate tectonics (as far as we know now)?Ī large planet with a thin lithosphere would be expected to be geologically Is cut in half (reduced by a factor of 2)

The tides that occur when the Moon is at first or third quarter are calledĪccording to Wien's Law, if the temperature of a source of thermal (also called blackbody) radiation is doubled, the wavelength where it radiates most intensely The terrestrial planets have metal cores and rock mantles because of

The density of rock is typically 3 g/cm 3, while that of metal is more like 9 g/cm 3. The type of seismic waves that can pass through the liquid part of Earth's core is the Which of the following four processes that shape a planet's surface involves folding and deformation of that surface?
